Title: Improved Burglar Alarm.
Inventor: NEVATTE ALEXANDER ALFRED
IPC: G08B13/02
Filed: 1910-02-18
Granted: 1911-02-16
Abstract: 4035. Nevatte, A. A. Feb. 18. Burglar alarms.-A door or window contact completes the circuit of an electro-magnet, the armature of which releases a stop from a clock-work which drives an alarm siren. The contact consists of two metal strips k, which are bridged, when the door &c. is opened, by the spring-pressed ball e. The armature l of the magnet j pulls the rod n through the cord m. The rod n normally acts as a stop for the arm q, but the actuation of the rod releases the arm, which moves under the action of the spring r and carries the rod w to allow the stop y<1> to release the clock-work x. The clock-work drives the siren; and also the spring g<1>, in expanding, pushes back the rod l<1> and consequently causes the cord q<1> to return the rod w and arm q to the re-setting position.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Motor Starters.
IPC: H02P1/04
Filed: 1910-05-19
Granted: 1911-05-19
Abstract: 12,300. Field, M. B., and Ferranti, Ltd. May 19. Automatic circuit breakers. - In a motor starter employing a resistance column varied by compression, contactor or switch elements, one of which makes the main circuit through the maximum resistance and another short-circuits the resistance after it has been reduced to a minimum, constitute a no-volt and overload circuit-breaker. In one form, two cams i, j, Fig. 3, actuate the two contactors d, e consecutively, and are operated by a worm shaft l, which is rotated by a handle m and can be thrown by a lever p into gear with a sector o on the cam-shaft h. The resistance column is compressed prior to the closing of the second contactor which occurs as sector o is moved into the full-on position against the cheeks of a " no-volt " " hold-on " magnet f. An overload coil g pulls up its armature when the current becomes abnormal and short circuits the no-volt coil. In a modification, Fig. 6, cams i, on the handle shaft successively actuate the contactors, one e of which is shown. Both contactors are attached to an arm hinged on a pin 32, which is supported in a stamping 33. The stamping, similarly to other parts of the switch mechanism, is clamped by members 34 on to a pin 35 in the casing, the pin being insulated by a tube of micanite. In the no-resistance position, an armature 30 on an arm 29 on the shaft 24 is held by the no-volt magnet f. An overload coil g is also provided. In a further modification, the switch lever 46, Fig. 11, pivoted at 47, first makes the circuit through the resistance by moving on to the contact 49, and after further movement, during which the resistance is reduced by compression, the arm passes on to short-circuiting contacts 52, the armature of the " hold-on " coil being mounted on the switch handle. Magnetic blow-outs.-The cheeks of the novolt coils embrace between them part of the contactor that would otherwise take the spark on breaking the circuit, and in addition a blow-out coil in series with the resistance may be provided. This coil is energized only while current is traversing the resistance, and is thus always in circuit before the circuit is finally broken. Electro-magnetic switches.-The overload relay g, Fig. 6, which may have two windings in parallel, is formed with a magnetic circuit in two portions electrically discontinuous, and the two pole pieces therefore constitute separate small castings which are clamped around a mica insulated stem upon the base. The armature is hinged to one pole piece, and the terminals of the no-volt coil are connected to the parts of the magnetic circuit which are thus bridged when the armature moves up to the second pole-piece.

Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 4343. Rieachel, W., and Deutsche Patent Grudeofen-Fabrik W. Rieschel & Co. Feb. 21. Cooking - stoves.-In stoves wherein the cooking-space is divided by an horizontal hollow partition, serving also as a flue, into two ovens, and the partition is movable to allow these ovens to be converted into one larger oven, the partition is fitted so to be movable to the top or sides of the cooking-space instead of being removed entirely from it. Fig. 1 shows a stove wherein the cooking-space is divided into two ovens 2<a>, 2<b> by a hollow partition or flue 3 which may be raised bodily to the roof of the cooking- space. The combustion products rise through the side flues 5 of the oven 2<b> and pass through the flue 3 to the rear flue of the oven 2<a>. On lifting the partition 3, it releases tappets 20 on the dampers, which automatically set themselves so as to allow the combustion products from the fire 4 to rise through the whole length of the flues 5, 6, and pass thence through the partition 3 directly to the chimney. The dampers 7 are centrally pivoted, but they may be hinged on the upper edges so as to close the apertures in the walls when the partition is raised. Fig. 7 shows a modification wherein the partition 3 is in two parts hinged at 10 so as to connect, when desired, the side flues 5 and the top flue 11 of the oven.
